Gene Hackman the bad-ass rallies the troops and leads the wusses out. He dies just before the end.<BR/><BR/>That is why we expect Jackson to survive. That is why it is so unexpected that they get him in just that way. That is why it's so logical yet so shocking.<BR/><BR/>What makes it doubly hilarious is like joncormier said... the Jackson that go eaten looks so fake.<BR/><BR/>I also have a distinct memory of Sam Jackson Doll screaming "help meeee" before it just pulled him in! Gone.<BR/><BR/>So basically if not for Gene Hackman and the grand knowledge of grand ocean-going disaster movies one's appreciation of the scene is empty indeed, especially because I truly believe one scene would not exist without the other.<BR/><BR/>Second.... Dan Coyle is being too emotional about that Jean Grey scene in X2. That scene just makes me wonder why the heck should couldn't do the same trick inside the damn plane.<BR/><BR/>In fact, the only way that scene would illicit the F YEAH reaction from me is if she sustained herself by telekinetically forming an air bubble; instead she held up the wall of water and then got tired and died by drowning. I never got a clear idea why she couldn't do that same business from inside the airplane.<BR/><BR/>Interestingly I got the F-yeah feeling from the TORNADOS that Storm made. Or from Nightcrawler making the Secret Service look like talentless dolts.... also Professor X shutting down the country temporarily; that was cool.<BR/><BR/>Jean's death scene? bla. An excuse to kill Jean Grey.<BR/><BR/>Serenity- "Say hello to our little friends, Operative- THE REAVERS!" - that was not a F Yeah moment. That was a "Holy Crap!!" moment. Do not confuse the two. The F Yeah moments in that movie basically amount to Mal shooting unarmed men. There's also every part where he's fighting hand to hand against the Operative and gets the upper hand.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous 6:37 AM? That was just foolish. Plainly purely foolish.

The best part is Kurtwood then staggers around for a bit, great Python-esque gouts of blood spurting out of his neck before finally collapsing. I'm not sure, but I remember him also giving everyone the finger in the process.<BR/><BR/>Another fantastic one, similar to Samuel L, is Steven Seagal in Executive Decision (I know, I know. It was on TV, all right? I was tired, all right?). He's the headline star (well, co-headline, with Kurt Russell) but the poor dumb bastard dies in like the first half hour. Falls out of an airplane.
